MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT Douglas, Isle of Man December 17, 2024 DANU Composite Technology: The Sustainable, High-Performance Alternative to Carbon Fibre ExoTechnologies, a leader in sustainable composite materials, is proud to announce the successful completion of testing on the world's first fully recyclable motorcycle helmet made entirely from DANU Composite Technology. This achievement marks a major milestone and underscores DANU’s potential to transform industries reliant on lightweight, high-performance materials. For years, carbon fibre has dominated sectors requiring strength and performance. Yet its excessive CO₂ emissions, environmental impact, cost, and scalability limitations have left manufacturers searching for a better solution. Enter DANU Composite Technology—a material that rivals carbon fibre in mechanical properties while offering unparalleled advantages in sustainability, scalability, and affordability. DANU demonstrated superior results for wearable protection: ✅ 14% lighter than traditional composites; ✅ Outstanding 275G impact resistance and structural stability; and ✅ Fully recyclable—eliminating landfill waste at the end of its lifecycle. Tested to leading global standards, including FIM ECE2205 and DOT, DANU sets a new benchmark—not just for motorcycle helmets but for any product requiring lightweight strength, durability, and large-scale production potential. “DANU is evidence that high performance and sustainability are no longer mutually exclusive,” said Jeroen Wats, Chief Innovation Officer at ExoTechnologies. “This material redefines what’s possible across industries, setting a new standard for responsible innovation.” What makes DANU even more remarkable is its suitability for mass production, overcoming barriers that have long held back other composites: ✅ Scalability—developed for high-volume, cost-efficient manufacturing. ✅ Mass utility—applicable across industries, from automotive and aerospace to sports equipment, renewable energy, and marine sectors. ✅ Circular economy—fully recyclable, dramatically reducing environmental impact and paving the way to a zero-landfill future. As industries increasingly move away from carbon fibre, DANU offers the ideal alternative, providing: ✅ Comparable mechanical properties—closely matching carbon fibre’s strength, stiffness, and weight savings; ✅ Lower CO₂ emissions throughout all phases of the life cycle (LCA); and ✅ Exceptional durability—resilient under high-stress, high-impact conditions. From helmets and aircraft panels to wind turbines and sporting goods, DANU Composite Technology delivers a scalable, sustainable solution for manufacturers looking to meet performance demands while embracing environmental responsibility. 🌍 DANU Composite Technology: Lightweight. Scalable. Recyclable. Exceptional. #LightweightPerformance #DANUComposite #SustainableInnovation #CarbonFibreAlternative #CircularEconomy #ScalableSolutions #InnovationForImpact #InnovatingTheFuture

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT Douglas, Isle of Man, and Stavanger, Norway December 11, 2024 ExoTechnologies and Ventum Dynamics Unveil the World's First Fully Recyclable Wind Turbine ExoTechnologies, a pioneer in sustainable composite materials, and Ventum Dynamics™, a leader in renewable energy innovation, proudly announce the launch of the world's first fully recyclable wind turbine. This ground-breaking turbine, enabled by ExoTechnologies’ patented DANU Composite Technology, is set to debut in 2025, marking a significant milestone in the global transition to green energy. This achievement represents the culmination of a year-long collaboration, during which ExoTechnologies and Ventum Dynamics reimagined the VX175 rooftop wind turbine. By integrating DANU Composite Technology, the VX175 establishes new benchmarks in sustainability and performance, transforming the future of wind energy. The VX175 is purpose-built for commercial and industrial rooftops, offering an ideal energy solution for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and multi-story buildings. It complements solar PV by generating energy under diverse weather conditions and at times when solar may fall short. This innovation has already captured significant global interest from commercial and industrial customers, reflecting demand for thousands of units. The VX175 exemplifies the market’s demand for solutions that seamlessly blend exceptional performance with ground-breaking sustainability. With its patented omnidirectional design, the VX175 captures wind from all directions, delivering up to 3kW of power. Operating at an ultra-quiet level of under 40dB, it boasts a projected levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of just €0.05/kWh—setting a new standard in renewable energy efficiency and versatility. DANU Composite Technology revolutionizes wind turbine design by eliminating waste at the end of its lifecycle, reducing CO2 emissions during production, and delivering superior performance. The technology reduces overall turbine weight by 40% and improves structural integrity by 30% to 65%, depending on the component. In the VX175, DANU enhances wind responsiveness, with key components like the shroud and rotor blades achieving increased stiffness and resilience, ensuring long-term durability under high-stress conditions. Beyond sustainability, DANU rivals carbon fibre in mechanical properties while outperforming glass fibre, making it a superior material choice for renewable energy applications. #RenewableRevolution #SustainableInnovation #CircularEconomy #CleanEnergy #GreenTechnology #FutureOfEnergy #RecyclableSolutions #LowCarbonFuture #WindPowerInnovation #EcoEfficiency #GameChangingMaterials #DANUComposite #GlobalSustainability #NextGenEnergySolutions #InnovationForImpact

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT Douglas, Isle of Man, and Burton-on-Trent, United Kingdom November 25, 2024 ExoTechnologies and Pontoon & Dock Unveil World’s First 100% Recyclable Pontoon Floats, Transforming Waterways Forever What if the docks, houseboats, and marinas gracing our rivers and seas did not just coexist with nature—but actively protected it? Thanks to a ground-breaking partnership between ExoTechnologies, a leader in sustainable composite technologies, and The Pontoon & Dock Company Ltd., the UK’s foremost supplier of floating pontoon systems, that future is now. Together, these companies are introducing the world’s first 100% recyclable pontoon floats, a revolutionary innovation enabled by DANU Composite Technology. Launching in 2025, this breakthrough will debut across four key floating home developments in Yorkshire, Scotland, Hampshire, and Norfolk, offering 97% recyclable homes that set a new global benchmark in sustainable water-based living. But the impact doesn’t stop there. These recyclable floats will also be made available to pontoon manufacturers and suppliers across the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, sparking a wave of eco-friendly change in marine infrastructure worldwide. Neill W., Head of Sustainability, at The Pontoon & Dock Company: “We’re not just improving water quality—we’re transforming how industries approach sustainability. For the first time, marina operators, waterway planners, and homebuilders can choose solutions that align with their environmental values without compromising performance.” The recyclable floats represent a leap forward in sustainable design, tackling the long-lasting damage caused by traditional materials like concrete, polystyrene, and plastic. At the heart of this breakthrough is DANU Composite Technology, a material that redefines marine innovation. Unlike conventional options, DANU is lightweight, durable, and endlessly recyclable. Its unparalleled combination of performance and sustainability addresses one of the marine sector’s most urgent challenges: how to maintain functionality while reducing environmental impact. Shane Mugan, Founder of ExoTechnologies, explains: “DANU is more than just a material—it’s a mindset. Together with Pontoon & Dock, we are proving that sustainability can be powerful, scalable, and beautiful. This partnership challenges every assumption about how marine infrastructure should be built and rebuilt.” Simon Nadin, Managing Director of The Pontoon & Dock Company, added: “Every great innovation starts with a bold question. Ours was simple: Why settle for incremental progress when we can redefine the standard? This partnership proves that innovation and sustainability aren’t just compatible—they’re inseparable.”
